Create BoreLines dialog

The Create BoreLines tool is accessed by double-clicking on " Create BoreLines" under the " Features" toolset under the " Subsurface Analyst" toolset under the " Arc Hydro Groundwater Tools" toolbox. This tool creates BoreLine (3D polyline) features from vertical data related to point features (e.g. Wells). Tool inputs are a point feature class and a table with vertical data, which are related through key fields. Features can be attributed with a GroupID which can be used to categorize the BoreLines (for example, into hydrogeologic units).

The following fields are available. Required fields are marked with a icon. Fields marked with a icon may not be supported or the selected table may not exist.

• Input Point Features – Click the button to bring up the Input Point Features dialog in order to specify the point features representing the location where the borehole data were measured.
• Unique Point Identifier Field – Select from the drop-down the unique identifier of the point features. The unique identifier is used as a key field to which vertical data are related.
• Input BoreLine Features – Click the button to bring up the Input BoreLine Features dialog in order to specify the feature class storing the 3D features created.
• BoreLine Related Identifier – Select from the drop-down the key field associating BoreLine features to the point features from which they were created.
• BoreLine GroupID – Select from the drop-down the attribute of BoreLine features used to classify them into categories (e.g., hydrogeologic units).
• Input BoreholeLog Table – Click the button to bring up the Input BoreholeLog Table dialog in order to specify the table containing vertical data from which the BoreLine features are created.
• BoreholeLog Related Identifier – Select from the drop-down the key field associating vertical data with point features.
• BoreholeLog GroupID – Select from the drop-down the field in the attribute of the BoreholeLog table used to classify intervals into categories (e.g., hydrogeologic units).
• BoreholeLog Top Elevation – Select from the drop-down the field in the BoreholeLog table representing top elevations.
• BoreholeLog Bottom Elevation – Select from the drop-down the field in the BoreholeLog table representing bottom elevations.
• Append to Existing BoreLine Features – Optional. Turn on to append new BoreLines to the feature class. Turn off to clear the target feature class prior to creating new BoreLines.
